I think he lived, see the little smoke at the far left before he hits? Then something black opens up. I'm thinking that was the cockpit opening up and the parachute deploying. Plus, you'd think the watchers would be more like... ohhhhh, shit. Stuff like that.

I talked to the pilot who crashed that aircraft, his crew chief never set his altimiter so he rolled over the top 1200ft short of what he should of. Shit happens, and now he works at the pentagon filing paper work.

I did some research. It was pilot error, pilot was.....too low to complete manuver. Pilot needed another 1,000ft, then pilot throttled hard back and left to avoid crowd before ejecting. So I guess the Russians throttle forward and...in...to the crowd.
